Hello,
I have a particular app that I am unable to debug using gdb. When I
attach to the app and continue it, gdb begins to take up 100% of my cpu.
It will do this forever (well longer than I've ever waited).
I am able to debug this particular app on my 6.2-STABLE machine. And I
can debug other apps on my 7.0 machine. I've tried both gdb 6.1 and gdb
6.6 on my 7.0 machine with no change in behavior.
I first thought maybe I had done something odd when rebuilding my
kernel/world? But I've built a second 7.0 machine and stuck with the
GENERIC kernel and I have the same results.
Most times I can not break into the app once I have continued it. I
have attached gdb to gdb to watch what it is doing and it appears to
give me a few different backtraces, though it is always one of maybe
three traces. [See below for bt of gdb attached to gdb, unfortunately
its not the same bt I was seeing... but may offer some insight?]
Has anyone seen behavior like this? What else can I provide that might
help diagnose this?

Regards,
Eric
